The game features intense, realistic violence, including depictions of combatants being harmed or killed, and violence against defenseless targets. The historical setting may present a narrow view of gender and ethnic diversity. The open-ended nature of large battles could lead to extended play sessions without clear stopping points. There's a mild risk of nationalistic propaganda due to the historical context.
